Anyone excited? Jellybean for the galaxy s2 and s3 and original note is just around the corner

I cannot get excited about official updates. IMHO software updating shouldn't be up to the providers or manufacturers, just Google.
Basically, when Google releases a new version (and your phone is technically capable), you should be able to update.
All those manufacturer UI-alterations are simply apps, which should be awfully easy to update, if backwards-compatibility didn't eliminate the time problem already.

I'm running JB on a phone that isn't even "supposed" to run ICS if the manufacturers could help it, but it's way, way faster than the stock 2.3 roms could ever make it.

Yes, I have an old phone (HTC Desire), but it's not slow when using a recent Android version... It's slow on 2.3

Hmmm have you tried to change the wireless channel on the router? Also if you would like to see what your neighbors are using for wireless channel you can download WiFi Analyzer. This app has a great feature to show the current channels that are around you. I always use channel 11 due to that being the best open channel around me. This maybe the issue you are faceing.

I've done everything that can be done with the router already. Changing channels didn't work before either, and it's certainly not working right now. Heck it was actually channel 7 by default, but it's currently channel 4.

Got myself an S2 when it came to Virgin Mobile US and I am loving it, the great wifi at my school makes up for the poor virgin mobile service up in the mountains. Funny enough though I have perfect VM service at home and terrible wifi there

entropy13, If you have a spare combo such as a P4/PIII or AMD equivilant then I would suggest doing like I have done and create a custom router. Below is a website that has some of the best custom firewall/DHCP server OS that I could find. Its easy to setup and functions as a commercial grade router would almost ZERO packet loss. I have ran mine for three days and have downloaded over 60GB STRAIGHT will zero slow downs or disconnects. I can help you set it up if you would like and then you can take your old wireless router and configure it to just be an access point. My old router was doing around 14MBPS on speedtest.net but with the custom router and access point I am getting over 25MBPS on wireless!
